Someone is having way too much fun in Paris! Thought about you when I visited a new Seattle pâtisserie a few days ago and sampled the most delicious macarons: They were filled with lemon crème patissière! You can see a picture on my new blog post. Have fun ! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

Louise,Arnaud Larhrer's round disk of chocolate apricot-infused ganache, with chunks of apricot confit on top was out of this world je ne sait quoi.I ate the crust on this baby.You better believe it :)

I like these new eclairs with the wafer on top en lieu of icing but it was not as knock-your-socks-off wonderful as the tarte.

I'm loving HISTORY OF PARISIANS for those who asked. It's anecdotes of various Parisien historical times fleshed out with characters, dialogue, locations and historic details starting in the late 18th century with Napoleon coming to Paris from Corsica. Marie-Antoinette is included bien sur.It's certainly griping tales.I wish I knew whether to spell it: ParisiEnorParisiAn...

olalalala,love it all but the Pantone bonbons caught my eye! I am always just wanting to slurp down my paints, I love colors so much, with these I could!It all looks devine!I'm also wanting the leopard print short boots at Zara! I think closest to me is in Dallas...but I could just order online.

Hehee - trust you to pick out Hévin's shoes! Too funny. I'm still saving that gorgeous yuzu hot chocolate stick from Sadaharu Aoki. Have you had it yet? Probably too busy tasting all these gorgeous pastries...

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
